Community Safety Partnership

Priorities for 2023-2026

Looking at all of the statistical and anecdotal evidence we have agreed to work on the three main areas below as our priorities for the next three years.  These will be reviewed on a yearly basis and a grant from the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner (OPCC) be used to fund an Action Plan to deliver these priorities.
